From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Narrative: while on a student training flight in a BE-76 aircraft, at Will Rogers World Airport, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma the landing gear was mistakenly raised while preparing the aircraft configuration for the takeoff portion of the touch and go. The nose gear retracted permitting the nose and propeller to strike the runway. There was minor damage to the aircraft. The instructor was given retraining by the pilot school and counseled by the aviation safety inspector.
